More spoiler-free artwork from my upcoming book: The Osiris Circle: The Trap Room Ghost.

It was a small house with too much moss on the roof, too many weeds in the yard and not enough paint on the walls. It was not a place anyone would really notice, or if they did, care about.

But it is the place where everything started...

Twenty years ago I spent the night in one of the most haunted theaters in the world — The Bird Cage in Tombstone, Arizona.

A monument to arrested decay, the Bird Cage still maintains most of its original contents, from its one-of-a-kind Faro table to its faded wallpaper. It's also said to maintain some of its former residents — from a phantom stagehand to professional gamblers.

The experience definitely influenced my work-in-progress... The Osiris Circle: The Trap Room Ghost.
